I'm from Melbourne, south east corner of mainland Australia.

It is the undisputed sporting capital of the world being the only city that holds a tennis Grand Slam and a major Grand Prix.

Other sporting events to note is the Melbourne Cup horse race that pulls 120,000+ each year, AFL grand final 100,000 each year and the Boxing day cricket test that pulls close to 400,000 people over 5 days. This is just the tip of the iceberg. Our newspapers are pretty much sporting magazines.

Historically Melbourne has also been voted the world's most liveable city and often features in the annual top 5.

Melbourne boasts Australia's best resturants and is Australia's cultural hub.

Its climate is probably the most interesting feature as it often reflects 4 seasons in one day. It has a population of approx 4 Million people.
